Answer
Hi Sujendra;

How devastating. I have heard of this but I don't know what causes it. I will post your question on the freshwater fish forum and see what the other members have to say.

Your question will be under the heading "Cichlids, Angelfish, Discus". The title below that is "Whirling and Dying Angel Fry".
